  • light from an LED is coupled into the rotatably mounted member where it is guided to the region where optically coded paths are arranged on the surface of the rotatably mounted member.
  • the optically coded paths are arranged by positioning a well-defined pattern of light absorbing elements on the surface of the rotatably mounted member so that light propagating inside the rotatably mounted member is only allowed to escape from the transparent, rotatably mounted member in certain regions along the optically coded paths.
  • the optically coded paths can be arranged as illustrated in Fig. 3.
  • a sensor array having a plurality of light sensitive elements is positioned above the optically coded path so that light escaping the rotatably mounted member can be detected. By detecting the intensity variations caused by a relative movement of the sensor array and the rotatably mounted member the position of this member, and thereby the position of the dose setting member, can be determined.

If only the relative position of the dose setting member is required only 2 optically coded paths are required.
  • the light source may in principle be any light capable of fitting into the region 3. Obvious choices would be LEDs or laser diodes emitting light in the visible or near infrared regions.
  • the detector for detecting light reflected from optically coded paths can be sensor arrays comprising a plurality light sensitive regions or individual photo detectors. The number of light sensitive areas on a sensor array or the number of individual sensors matches the number of light guiding channels arranged to guide light from the rotatably mounted member and to the detector(s). Similarly, the number of light guiding channels guiding light from the light source and the rotatably mounted member equals the number of light guiding channels arranged to guide light from the rotatably mounted member and to the detector(s).
